Bound full-lotus reaching behind the back to grip the feet.

AI scanning trigger

How the SEGA AI Judge scores it

Scoring initialises in the settled seat; the AI tracks spinal verticality, pelvic neutrality and symmetry.

Siddha-Varma stimulation

Traditional energetic note

Traditional Siddha-Varma links stable seated postures with the spinal and pelvic energy lines; traditional context only, not medical guidance.

Safety protocol

Practise it safely

Sit tall on the sit bones; use a lift under the hips if the low back rounds. Ease knee-loading postures with any knee injury.
